To do this by yourself using the aforementioned method just tighten the pressure plate bolts finger tight. this allows for a l;ittle finessing of the tranny which makes it much easier. Then go in through your inspection cover to tighten the pressure plate bolts. I have used this method many times and it has never failed me. Good luck.

That's another way of doing it, providing your bellhousing has an inspection cover. Not all bellhousings do especially racing scattershield ones.

I installed it tonight. It went very smooth. I also finish rebuilding the car with Story. The PO stripped the inlet thread for the fuel line so we had to retap and seal with jb weld. I will let it sit until Monday and then install the carb. I also mounted the coil. It looks good. I will take some pics tomorrow and post them

Thanks for the help
Kevin

Glad to hear it went smoothly!

As far as the carb, you may want to try this; JB won't last very long, could be inviting an engine fire:

"The answer to the leaking fuel line fitting problem is as close as your local NAPA store. Ask for p/n 2-93, it is a repair fitting that will cut it's own thread and convert's to a AN type seat, the line nut that screws into it is p/n 105-5 for 5/16 fuel line.
The fitting cost $6.63 and the nut was 13 cents. "

(clipped from an old thread) I think this particular part was for a Holley 94, but they have one for every common thread size.

Kevin, you are making great progress! You'll be done in no time, then you can come back down and help me finish!
Albq is right, JB weld is not gasoline proof, use the oversized fitting.

I printed out the part number and will redo it on Monday. When I finish, I will be down. Maybe we can pull the Soltice to its next race!

Hope everyones well, tell Donna I said hello.
